The first step in any tribunal claim is to contact Acas to consider conciliation — a negotiated settlement — of the claim. This is known as Early Conciliation (EC). Claimants must complete an EC form available from the Acas website and send it to Acas who will contact the claimant and their employer to find out whether the claim can be settled without issuing a tribunal claim.
